A SLUGGER'S PLUCK,
Sullivan Has His Arm Broken Again nv
Physician.

The Western doctors had pronounced
Sullivan's arm broken, and stated tina!
it would take from one to three months
to heal Sullivan's impetuosity made
him imagine that this was long while
for broken arm to get well, so he
called few of his friends together and
waited on DR.. Sayre.
When they arrived at the doctors
Office he carefully examined the broken
arm, and in few minutes exclaimed
"This arm will never get well.
"How that 2" said Sullivan, with a
snort.
why, it is not set right, and l doubt
if you will ever be able to use it again
for offensive purposes.
Cant anything be done with it e.
eyes; but it will have to be broken
again in order to put the bones right.
Sullivan made grimace and then sat
thoughtful for few minutes. AT
length he spoke up:
Glow long will it take for my arm
to get we'll if you break it again ~
"About half as long as it will under
the present circumstances. In four
weeks it will be round as ever and, /
thin =, stronger than it was before this
accident"
The gigantic pugilist's eyes opened
in wonder at this and, thrusting his
bare arm in front of DR.. Sayre, he told
him to break it again.
''Sit down on the sofa and wait till
get an an9sthetic."
whats that ?'' said the athlete.
ooh, something to deaden the pain

eyes"
"Never mind that. want to see how
this is done. l know just how it was
broken in the first instance and know
the pain l endured, SO l guess that |
can stand it over again. You go ahead "
The doctor took the patient at his
word, and calling in his two sons, babe
them hold the pugilist's arm a little
above the elbow. This was no easy job,
as the sixteen inches of arm was not to
be spanned by an ordinary mans hand.
Sullivan obligingly held his arm so that
it afforded brace for the doctors as
sistants. Then DR.. Sayre took the
champions hand as though he was about
to shake it, and giving the wrist sud
den wrench forward snapped the injured
bone in twain.
There was slight twinge a out the
muscles of the face and eye of the pa
tient, but no murmur escaped him. The
doctor wanted Sullivan to be put under
ether while he set the fractured mem
Der. This the athlete would not con-
sent to, but waited until the doctor had
taken slight repast During this time
the compress was being got ready by
the assistants, and when everything was
in readiness Dr. Sayre went to work
rapidly. The broken bones were put
put together, and the injured arm ban
daged up and put in black silk hand
kerchief. During all this time Sullivan
carried on brisk talk with his brother
and two friends.

The Concord On. H. Monitor, says
An amusing incident occurred not long
since at the close of an evening meeting
of one Of our churches. A we'll known
citizen and wife attended the service,
going thither, as was their custom, in
their own vehicle. When the meeting
was over, the husband told the wife to
be out at the door so as to be ready to
go home when he came along with the
horse and sleigh. She was promptly on
time, and team came up. a man held
out his hand and helped her in, and
drove off with her. They had not gone
a great way when she said: ''It seems
to me you got the horse qulck!" The
man looked at her a moment in sur
prise, on hearing strange voice, and
exclaimed, "Good gracious! I have got
the wrong woman. He turned the
horse around, and drove back to the
place of meeting, where an exchange
was made, and started home once more
with the right woman.

A War Yarn.

"There were but few soldiers in The
war;" said q veteran to the reporter O
an exchange the other day, "who were
not card players, and they nearly al
liked to own deck, but they had {
dread of being killed with a deck OF
their person. Whenever we heard thu

knew that battle was coming, and you
would see men by the hundreds drawing
their cards fro their pockets and
throwing them along the road.

Lost q Fortune.

Some one once asked John Jacob
Astor about the largest sum of m oney
he ever made at any one time in his life.
He said in reply: "The largest sum
ever missed making was in reference to
the purchase of Louisiana in connection
with Dewitt Clinton, Gouverneur Morris
and others. We intended to purchase all
of that province of Emperor Napoleon
and then sell it to President Jefferson at
the same price, merely retaining the
public domain, charging two and one
half per cent. commission on the pur-
chase" 1t fell through, however, for
some trifing cause or other. Had they
succeeded, Mr.. Astor estimated that he
should have made $50, 900, OOO.-Dry

DEVIL FISH.
MONSTERS WHO CRUSH MEN AND BOATS
IN THEIR LONG, STRONG ARMS.


"Some of the biggest 'squids' or
devil fish that have ever been caught,
said an old sailor, "have been found
around West India islands in the gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean sea. l was
first mate on little chunk of a sugar
drougher, as the vessels in that trade
are called, and was bound from NV

the time, so we laid off in the roads and
the bark was loaded by coolie with
lighters. As we could not go ashore,
we rugged sails q the long boat and
used to cruise around through the little
islands hunting for turtles and eggs.
One day we towed the dingy behind the
long boat, intending to split the party
at one of the islands. When we reached
the big island, we separated, part stay
ing on the island and some of the men
taking the two boats and going to other
islands | and two men stayed on Dew
lis rock and hunted around for what
ever we could find. About 100 yards
of was q small rock, where the dingy
and her crews had gone. We could see
the boat tied up and the men loafing
around the. island. We got tired and
sang out to them to come over and get
US. They started to the boat and push
ed her off, wading out little way to
keep clear of the rocks just covered at
high tide All of sudden one of them
uttered fearful scream and something
blush rose out of the water and encir-
cled his body and neck. He drew his
knife and slashed at it, when another
arm arose. 1t was q 'squid.' The
other fellow was nearer the shore and
was just stepping out of the water when
two long feelers wriggled up and around
his legs and in another minute he, too,
was being drawn under the water
Their shncks and cries were pitiful, but
we could do nothing. We had no boat
and the other party were not in sight
The men fought brave but to no end.
What could they do against fifty arms,
from ten to enty feet long, each with
a grasp of steel. Slowly but surely they
were first crushed to death and then
dragged down. Their fighting seemed
to have maddened the creature, for
shortly after the men disappeared he
long, blue arms wound themselves
around the little boat and crushed it
as you would nutshell between your
fingers. The horror we felt at the bare
sight of the poor fellows agony nearly
drove one of the men crazy who was
with me. When the long boat came
back we reported the matter, but after
that we were never allowed to go over
to the islands. Several times we hunted
for the devil fish with guns and har-
poems, but he was ne er seen again by
